We have a large garden not half as big as yours Pam
Front garden was full of specimen trees but we cut a lot down
To get some light in
Back garden also had loads of trees and lovely shrubs and flowers being smothered with weeds
But some trees were dead and shrubs over grown
Back part of garden was a wild meadow with weeds as tall as me
I started trying to weed it but ofter three months I was getting nowhere so we got the whole lot mowed down
Removed a row of trees to find we had a small orchard
Flower beds have now been thinned out and replanted
Dead stuff cut down
The garden looks so much bigger and last spring the meadow
was a blaze of yellow daffs and cowslips which had previously been smothered by weeds
Looking forward to this spring to see what my hard work has produced
That's if the rabbits and pheshants have not turfed out the bulbs
You don't have to be as mad as a box of frogs to be here but it helps:mysmilie_13:
